I finished the new exhaust today, thanks Cam for helping. :woot:

I managed to keep the pipe as straight as possible given the tight space to work with. 3.5 inch dump (flattened for clearance) into 100cpsi cat and 3 inch front pipe. The rest of the system is Cam's old 3 inch one, Legalis is it? It still sounds louder than I want... The price you pay for a performance exhaust I guess.

Have yet to drive it so I will let you know my thoughts tomorrow, I will also have to get back on the dyno and tune for this and the boost controller so hopefully good gains. :woot:

NICE!!!

Thats hot scotty.

PM about your old exhaust. Keen on making another one of those front/dumps?? Ill buy one...

Lol, If you buy the old system wont you be jealous when your brother rips one of the new dumps out? :woot:

I can make more of them but you can only imagine how much time that many welds takes. I haven't priced them up but they wont be cheap... Also, they are a bitch to fit. What's your tool selection like? It could be worth a trip down.

nice exhaust, good that you gave it a go yourself dude... rather than paying a pro to do it...

the welds are okay for a beginner...

did you really have to "flatten" the front for clearance? liek the 3inch wouldnt fit at all?

interesting concept, although i will be doing mine a little differently.

but seriosuly kudos for doing it yourself, love your style

when i finally decide to do mine. which shouldnt be too long away...

i only got my car friday and its not complied yet lol

ill be able to make more for anyone who wants one... and i wont be charging much, if anything at all...

ive made 3 or 4 custom intercooler kits for ppl when i was in the drift scene. and i only charged like 50 bucks labour. and they had to pay for material. (trying to help ppl out)

where i work we make huge ginormous tanks and vessels. for CSL (who make the drugs and vaccines for everyone) and food tanks... so all we do is bust our ass, and then the truck comes and picks it up.

and thats it. we dont ever get to see the customers reaction... so because when i do stuff for peoples cars. i get to see thier reaction i almost feel bad charging them lol

Anytime mate.

Still louder? How does the Mrs feel about the sound & volume?

How did it sound when warm (it is a bit loud when cold - as is the Nismo exhaust for that matter)

Its almost silent at idle and cruise but as I get on the gas it becomes much louder, old system was the other way around.

I had to lower the boost back to stock for now as its running leaner again. I have booked some dyno time for Thursday.

Mrs likes it. :P

damn that bottom under-window wing looks great!

attempting to fit longer wheel studs - wrong knurl size!!!

M12x1.25 50mm long studs with 13.75mm knurl wont fit

going to try 12.75mm knurl

expensive $100 mistake :P

    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32
